I've come across so many memes and vines celebrating friday as the best day of the week. I guess it is, considering the fact that over here, we're a country of work hating, fun loving individuals.
But for me,i don't know.
There's this expectancy for Friday to be the "turn up" day and everybody is so focused on letting their hair down, why do i get this depressing feeling after work when i literally don't know what to do with myself??
To make matters worse, growing older is a bitch!!
You start getting all responsible, start worrying seriously about the future, spend less time thinking of fun, grow grey hairs over lack of money...
If i'm to be completely honest with myself, it's this last point that is the crux of the matter. It's not as if there are no places to go to or fun things to do, it's just that all these things will require frivolous parting with some serious cash which unfortunately at the moment,i am not inclined to do.
It's just my nature. When i think of going to a Karaoke bar and spending 3k on drinks (6-10k if i go with a normal babe, 10-15k if she's an "owu"), my frugal minion reminds me that there is no fuel in my car and generator. When i consider stopping by the mall by myself or with a date, the thought of blowing about 10k away on different stuff makes my accountant minion shiver, then remind me in no nonsense terms that there will be roughly about 4k in my entire bank balance when i'm through. I could pass a boutique and see nice shirts going for 9.5k, Jeans, shoes and the like but my Igbo blood revolts and urges me to find time and visit Oshodi some other time.
It's crazy. I'm at the point where i should be able to relax after a long week at work and make fun plans for the weekend, close my eyes and fork out the funds to make this happen but instead i'm worrying about how to repay my darlings Ugo and Peace for the money i had to borrow and thinking of how to make 1k last the whole weekend.*sigh*.
It's another friday evening after work now and to add to the whole palava, i no know who send me go promise one babe say i go take am out for dinner....i was feeling over chivalrous and now she's been calling to make good on my promise.Me wey i hold only 1k for hand? No wahala...i'll wangle my way out of it and make her indomie and egg at home jare. No time.
Dear Lord, please bless my hustle very soon. Amen.
